Gibson USA SGM01U8CH1 SG Modern Electric Guitar - Blueberry Fade

Solidbody Electric Guitar with Mahogany Body, Figured Maple Top, Mahogany Neck, Ebony Fretboard, and 2 Humbucking Pickups - Blueberry Fade

The Gibson SG is already a rock icon, but Gibson has upped the ante with the SG Modern. This guitar’s bevy of cutting-edge enhancements includes an eye-popping AA figured maple top, a Graph Tech nut, rock-solid Grover tuners, and push-pull coil tapping. Take hold of the speedy 24-fret SlimTaper neck topped with a bound ebony fretboard, and let ’er rip with a lick or two. Feel the power generated by two split-coil Burstbucker Pro humbuckers. The Gibson SG Modern is way more than an update of a classic solidbody electric — it’s everything a modern rocker could want in a guitar.

A lean, mean tone machine

The Gibson SG, famous for its comfortable, fast-action neck, is a perennial favorite among guitarists. Whether you’re chording down low or soloing up high, the distinctive SlimTaper neck carve always feels just right. The guitar’s iconic double-horned cutaway gives you free access to the high registers, while its bound, Plek’d fretboard ensures effortless playability. The Gibson SG Modern is a lean, mean tone machine.

Matched Burstbucker Pro pickup set and high-performance switching

Burstbucker Pro pickups deliver the vintage flavor of Gibson’s popular Burstbuckers, enhanced with the addition of Alnico V magnets. Fat and meaty, with gobs of drive and attack, the Burstbucker Pro serves up a good harmonic complexity and bell-like clarity courtesy of slightly unmatched bobbin windings. It’s the classic Gibson PAF tone — with extra attitude. Routed through electronics featuring two push-pull volume controls for access to coil-tapped single-coil tones, the Gibson SG Modern gives you the tonal mastery to ace any gig or recording session.
